its very true that low power mode for electronics is a bit of a joke. I know that standby mode doesn't mean a whole lot to be able to get the energy star logo on the package.
Thanks for the reply. I guess that is what I am finding out. I have been using some
https://shelly.cloud/ shelly smart relays in other places. However the TV and Receiver are networked so I can use
https://www.home-assistant.io/ Home Assistant to control them. hate to add a relay just for the sub.
Overall <20 watts for the EP600 idling isnt bad. I just had expectations that the 'low power consumption' mode would do something besides change a light from green to red. maybe red uses less watts. haha
I'm pretty much doing a 180 . Always wanted everything ready to go. Now with energy/all costs up I am revisiting my desire for instant gratification.
I coulda swore my earlier EP500 went into power savings without a trigger. The current manual shows a trigger. I got the EP500 new around 2006 and had to have the electronics replaced around 2011. It went out again in 2021. Thats when I got a used EP600. So yea Mojo, maybe could extend the life of the device but manually flicking the switch aint gonna happen.
seems pretty dead around here. My brother was able to sell his 2008~ axiom setup recently after selling his house. It was m60 / ep500 / vp-150 / 4@qs8 . He had the real wood veneer. got around $900
